“Sophia was amazing. From the moment we dropped off me and my husband both felt so comfortable and at ease leaving our baby with her. We were updated throughout his whole stay with pictures. He went on walks, and got to play with other friends. We will definitely be booking her again ❤️”
“Brittany was amazing when she took care of our dogs for a whole week! We boarded them at her home and I’m know our pups enjoyed their stay! She updated us everyday and we are forever grateful! We would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Rich and Kayla were awesome sitters. They took on the car of our 10 month old velociraptor without a second thought! Kayla sent daily updates with pictures and even gave him a bath (after he was bad and decided to they needed a hole in their backyard). 😐 Thank you again for taking such great care of Barley! He said it was just like summer camp and can’t wait to come swim again.”
About: Many years experience as a loving pet-parent (cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and fish). I have worked as a dog-groomer as well. I am retired and no longer have pets but would enjoy helping out with yours. I am retired and have lots of time to play and care for your pets. I currently do not have pets after losing my 22 year old rat terrier last year but would treasure yours like my own. I live in an apartment without a fence but I can take your dog for walks as needed and can give them lots of my time and attention if they are here. Otherwise, I can come to you for their care.
“David and Krysta were the absolute best! We felt pretty guilty leaving our dog on her first Christmas while we traveled, but they took amazing care of her, and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend them, and I will def be booking with them my next trip!”
“Chelsee was wonderful with our girls! We have two one-year-old, very active dogs and she did not hesitate to take them on! She was very communicative during our trip and sent lots of pictures (which helped us to know how well they were being taken care of). We truly appreciate Chelsee and her care of our girls and would definitely entrust her with their care again !”
“Heather was great. I got pictures of a happy dog. I highly recommend her. I had no worries while I was away on my trip. Too bad it only give her five stars should’ve got 10.”
“Juniper had a lovely weekend while we were away and Anna sent many photos from their time together. Anna was very communicative and accommodated our drop off & pick up times.”
About: I have cared for and trained my dog, my mother’s and grandmother’s dogs. I have also provided a variety of personal home-care services to senior citizens, special needs children & nannied off and on throughout my early adult life. I love caring for and helping others. I substitute teach during the school year and I would love to care for pets during the summer time! It is my goal to at least work part time on top of another part time job! :) I have an apartment where I can keep pets for a short amount of time; we have a nice walking area and a dog park.
“Alexandra and crew (people, cats and a dog) were so welcoming that our two aussies were soon happy with their doggie vacation. They had very much built-in play time with the resident dog, and bonded with humans and animals alike in ways we'd not heard of from new contacts since Misty was a puppy (seriously, the pics and descriptions indicated a level of ease, happiness and playfulness we see with them at home). At pick-up time, they were glad to have us visit, but didn't seem completely ready to leave, We cannot imagine a better experience for our pups. If we manage to come to Miramar Beach again, we will definitely try Alexandra again.”
“Eric had Mollie for 3 nights. This was her first time away from us so we were probably more anxious about it than she was. Eric gave us a picture and updates every day. We will definitely have him keep her on future trips. Thanks for all you do.”
“A godsend and a lifesaver, my dog was very well cared for and may pics to prove it. Brittany and her husband are wonderful people I will continue to use their services every time I'm in need of it. THANK YOU.”
“Thank you so much!! We had a quick trip planned and Kyasia was able to help us out when our daycare in Pensacola couldn’t take our dog Nova. 11/10 recommend! Would have her watch Nova again. 😊 She even sent us a picture to show us how much fun Nova was having!”

“Ashlea was SPECTACULAR. She will be our first choice for any future boarding. We received daily updates with pictures and videos which gave is such peace of mind while we were away, knowing that our pup was not just taken care of, but happy and having fun. Her dog Maple was sweet and friendly, shared well, and became fast friends with our Maple! HIGHLY recommend!”
“Jennifer is AMAZING! She is kind, responsive, and very understanding! She takes great care of my pup and treats him like her own when he’s there! Highly recommend and will always use her if she’s available!”
“This was our first time leaving our baby. From my first conversation with Rosemary and meeting Matthew at drop-off they made it so easy not to worry. I would recommend them 10times over. Thanks so much for making my vacation!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of DeFuniak Springs sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which DeFuniak Springs landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their DeFuniak Springs home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your DeFuniak Springs.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your DeFuniak Springs sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
